Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to kick off his campaign in Himachal Pradesh, followed by electioneering in Punjab. He will address public meetings in Shimla and Mandi in Himachal, and later hold rallies in Gurdaspur and Jalandhar in Punjab. The BJP has made strategic candidate changes in key constituencies for the upcoming polls.

BJP's Solo Run: Lok Sabha Election 2024 Dynamics in Punjab

In a significant development ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party has announced its decision to contest the polls in Punjab without forming an alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). This decision marks a significant shift in the political landscape of Punjab, traditionally characterized by the alliance between the BJP and SAD. The announcement came after a meeting between senior BJP leaders and party members in Punjab, where it was decided that the BJP would field its candidates independently in the upcoming elections.

The decision to contest alone in Punjab reflects the BJP's strategic reevaluation of its electoral alliances and priorities in the state. While the BJP has been a long-standing ally of the SAD in Punjab, recent political developments and changing dynamics have prompted the party to reassess its electoral strategy. By opting to contest alone, the BJP aims to assert its independent political identity in the state and strengthen its electoral prospects by directly engaging with voters on its own terms.

The BJP's decision to go solo in Punjab has sparked speculation about the potential implications for the state's political landscape and the broader dynamics of national politics. Punjab has traditionally been a stronghold of regional parties such as the SAD and the Indian National Congress (INC), with the BJP playing a supporting role in alliance politics. However, with the BJP now charting its independent course, the electoral equations in Punjab are likely to witness a significant realignment.

The decision also underscores the BJP's confidence in its organizational strength and electoral appeal in Punjab. By contesting alone, the party aims to capitalize on its grassroots network, organizational structure, and popular support base to maximize its electoral gains in the state. This move reflects the BJP's determination to expand its political footprint beyond traditional strongholds and emerge as a formidable force in Punjab's political landscape.

Meanwhile, the announcement has triggered reactions from various political stakeholders, with the SAD expressing disappointment over the BJP's decision. The SAD, which has been grappling with internal challenges and leadership transitions, had earlier indicated its willingness to continue the alliance with the BJP. However, the BJP's unilateral decision has now thrown the future of the alliance into uncertainty, prompting the SAD to explore alternative electoral strategies.

As the political dynamics continue to evolve in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP's decision to contest alone in Punjab sets the stage for a keenly contested electoral battle in the state. With both regional and national parties vying for supremacy, Punjab is poised to witness a fiercely contested electoral landscape, where every political move will shape the trajectory of the state's politics in the years to come.

Whereas the election of Modi had already demonstrated that this new India was prepared to sacrifice Muslims and others for the purported chance to economically transform the country (read: corporatize it), it was only natural that Palestinians too would be discarded if it meant getting closer to Israel and the boon of global capital. By refusing to allow parliament to pass a resolution against Israeli aggression in Gaza and by abstaining from the resolution endorsing the 2015 UN report that called for accountability for Israeli crimes, India had shown that it was no longer prepared to provide Palestinians even performative support. Moreover, equivocating that both sides had an "equal responsibility" to lower tensions and prevent unnecessary loss of life, Modi's government had already amended the substantive nature of its foreign policy on the question of Palestine.

India had normalized relations with Israel in 1992 without Palestinians achieving statehood or self-determination. In 2014, New Delhi went one step further. It upgraded its public appreciation for Zionism and Israel and reduced its foreign policy to a contorted and performative "sympathy" for the Palestinian cause. It also began to illustrate a respect and intention to emulate Israeli policy at home. In 2014, the Punjab Police traveled to Israel for training on "security and anti-terror operations." A year later, the Indian Police Service (IPS) began an annual program in which recent graduates would spend one week studying "best practices in counterinsurgency, managing low intensity warfare and use of technology in policing and countering terror" with the Israel National Police Academy. In 2015, the Indian government began the implementation of a "smart border" along the Line of Control. These partnerships with Israel did little to deter the Indian foreign ministry from insisting that its commitment to the Palestinians remained unchanged. But the changes had arrived. And it had been a long time coming. India's decision to abstain from holding Israel accountable to the UNHCR resolution in 2015, was the surest sign that India believed in Israel's fundamental right to self-defense, and therefore, its right to exist as a settler-colonial state, unconditionally.

Ladies, vote for yourself and those denied the right

Dhurnal (Pakistan) (AFP) – Perched on her traditional charpai bed, Naeem Kausir says she would like to vote in Pakistan's upcoming election -- if only the men in her family would let her.

Like all the women in her town, the 60-year-old former headmistress and her seven daughters -- six already university educated -- are forbidden from voting by their male elders.

"Whether by her husband, father, son or brother, a woman is forced. She lacks the autonomy to make decisions independently," said Kausir, covered in a veil in the courtyard of her home.

"These men lack the courage to grant women their rights," the widow told AFP.

Although voting is a constitutional right for all adults in Pakistan, some rural areas in the socially conservative country are still ruled by a patriarchal system of male village elders who wield significant influence in their communities.

In the village of Dhurnal in Punjab, spread across crop fields and home to several thousand people, men profess myriad reasons for the ban of more than 50 years.

"Several years ago, during a period of low literacy rates, a council chairman decreed that if men went out to vote, and women followed suit, who would manage the household and childcare responsibilities?" said Malik Muhammad, a member of the village council.

"This disruption, just for one vote, was deemed unnecessary," he concluded.

Muhammad Aslam, a shopkeeper, claims it is to protect women from "local hostilities" about politics, including a distant occasion that few seem to remember in the village when an argument broke out at a polling station.

Others told AFP it was simply down to "tradition".

First Muslim woman leader

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has stressed that it has the authority to declare the process null and void in any constituency where women are barred from participating.

In reality, progress has been slow outside of cities and in areas that operate under tribal norms, with millions of women still missing from the electoral rolls.

The elders in Dhurnal rely on neighbouring villages to fill a government-imposed quota which maintains that 10 percent of votes cast in every constituency must be by women.

Those who are allowed to vote are often pressured to pick a candidate of a male relative's choice.

In the mountainous region of Kohistan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province home to almost 800,000 people, religious clerics last month decreed it un-Islamic for women to take part in electoral campaigns.

Fatima Tu Zara Butt, a legal expert and a women's rights activist, said women are allowed to vote in Islam, but that religion is often exploited or misunderstood in Pakistan.

"Regardless of their level of education or financial stability, women in Pakistan can only make decisions with the 'support' of the men around them," she said.

Pakistan famously elected the world's first Muslim woman leader in 1988 -- Benazir Bhutto, who introduced policies that boosted education and access to money for women, and fought against religious extremism after military dictator Zia ul-Haq had introduced a new era of Islamisation that rolled back women's rights.

However, more than 30 years later, only 355 women are competing for national assembly seats in Thursday's election, compared to 6,094 men, the election commission has said.

Pakistan reserves 60 of the 342 National Assembly seats for women and 10 for religious minorities in the Muslim-majority country, but political parties rarely allow women to contest outside of this quota.

Those who do stand often do so only with the backing of male relatives who are already established in local politics.

"I have never seen any independent candidates contesting elections on their own," Zara Butt added.

'Everyone's right'

Forty-year-old Robina Kausir, a healthcare worker, said a growing number of women in Dhurnal want to exercise their right to vote but they fear backlash from the community if they do -- particularly the looming threat of divorce, a matter of great shame in Pakistani culture.

She credits part of the shift to access to information as a result of the rising use of smartphones and social media.

"These men instil fear in their women – many threaten their wives," she told AFP.

Robina, backed by her husband, is one of the few prepared to take the risk.

When cricketing legend Imran Khan swept to power in the 2018 election, Robina arranged for a minibus to take women to the local polling station.

Only a handful joined her, but she still marked it as a success and will do the same on Thursday's election.

"I was abused but I do not care, I will keep fighting for everyone's right to vote," Robina said.

Indian Election Results (Part 3)

Part 3 is here and I reallyyy hope it's the last one.

Independent candidates lead in Jammu & Kashmir with 3 individual seats, BJP in tow with 2. Congress remained on zero. Independent candidate wins the only seat in Ladakh.

BJP shocks in Himachal Pradesh by winning all 4 seats. Modi factor shines here because despite being in power in the Vidhaan Sabha, Congress remains on the zero mark. Personally, I believe that the credit to Kangana Ranaut's Mandi win is due to Modi Ji's campaign, because Kangana's speech during the campaigns are lack charisma.

Congress isn't able to bring it's phoenix rise in Uttarakhand, remaining on zero while BJP wins all 5 seats.

10 seats of Haryana are equally divided b/w BJP and Congress with both 5 seats each. Congress also wins the 1 seat of Chandigarh.

The 50-50 division is also seen in Goa, where both parties win 1 seat each.

INDIA sweeps Punjab with Congress winning 7 seats, AAP 3 and Akaali Dal 1. BJP loses 2 seats, falling on zero. Even if Congress leads here and it's been year since the incident, I'll forever be bitter that they let go of Amrinder Singh. He practically revived Congress in Punjab, highly experienced.

In Sikkim, Regional Party {Sikkim Krantikari Morcha} wins the 1 seat.

BJP leads with 9 seats in Assam, Congress getting 3 and Regional Party {Asom Gana Parishad} getting 1.

To no one's surprise, Congress with the 2 seats of Manipur. BJP remains on zero, rightfully so. No one is more right in voting against BJP than the Manipur public.

Both BJP and Congress remain on zero as Independent candidate wins 1 seat in Mizoram.

Congress wins the only seat of Nagaland.

BJP wins 2 seats of Tripura and 2 seats of Arunachal Pradesh, Congress remains on zero.

Independent candidate and Congress win 1 seat each in Meghalaya, BJP on the zero mark.

Congress wins the 1 seat of Lakshdweep, 1 seat of Pondicherry while BJP wins 1 seat of Andaman & Nicobar.

That's it I guess! I think I covered all the states in these 3 parts, but do tell if I forgot some.
